Hi Everyone my Hull and plans arrived Today so as soon i have looked over the plans and sorted what i need to do to get started the Blog will begin.

Cheers
Jon

You have been asking for a picture of the Hull Etc so i have taken a couple and i have started to build a stand for the Hull to start work on it. I will put more on the build as i go.

Just a quick update i have finished building the build stand for Katie today, tomorrow i start on the hull to make it ready for the radio gear and motor etc which should be here on Friday. Hopefully a friend of mine should be dropping of some lead so i will be able to chop it up and fill the keel area but i am going to make and a external bolt on weight that i can take off when on show.

Hi Folks I have not give in yet but i been cutting all the deck beams once i get then all to size and cleaned up i will start fitting them and take some more photo's, i am still waiting on delivery of building timber and fitting etc. Back soon Jon

Hi I have cut and shaped all the Deck beams now and also cut the hole in the stern for the propshaft etc. so tomorrow i will start with the motor mount and filling that hole back up. Back soon.

Hi Have made a bit of a boo boo on the Deck Beams i measured the beams from the plan and as Dave pointed out the measurements are not always correct and they are not, never mind i am probably not be the first but i am learning by mistakes i make, but not all are wasted i can use the longer ones recut them for shorter ones.

Hi, After speaking to Dave769 yesterday i have partly sorted my out of shape Hull at least the Hull measurements are very close to what they need to be using two straps to hold in place. I am still waiting for deck support timber to stiffen the hull once glued into place but assured it will be here on Monday, I have also increased the size of the hole in the rear of the Hull for the prop shaft to go through because i am fitting a 40 mm prop instead of the 35mm which was to small. One or two pictures for now but more next week.

Hi, I did a bit more to Katie today, I have now cut and glued the deck side supports to the inside of the Hull in today so i will leave them over night and start on the deck beams tomorrow.
